OVERVIEW
WHAT IS CVD?
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is a process used
to deposit thin films of various materials onto a
substrate. The process involves the reaction of vapor
phase chemicals on a heated substrate, resulting
in the deposition of a solid film.

Steps
Here's a general outline of the steps
involved in the working of CVD.
2. Chemical Reactions: When the precursor gases come into contact with the substrate, they undergo
chemical reactions. These reactions can involve decomposition, reduction, or other processes depending on
the precursor's chemical properties.
3. Film Formation: As a result of the chemical reactions, solid material begins to form and deposit onto the
substrate surface. This material adheres and grows as a thin film layer. The growth rate and thickness of the
film can be controlled by adjusting parameters such as gas flow rates, temperature, and reaction time.
4. End of Process: Once the desired thickness of the thin film is achieved, the precursor gases are turned off,
and the chamber is cooled down. The substrate with the deposited film is then removed from the CVD
chamber.
